The team, made up of Scott, Kyle, Brett and Derek, took turns trying to sink a basketball shot from the top of the Gordon Dam in Tasmania. In the clip above, Brett actually manages to sink the shot. After first snagging the Guinness World Record for highest altitude basketball shot in 2011, the team broke it once more in 2013 from the top of the EuroMast observation tower in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Yet this latest shot shatters the record once again and marks a special achievement for the group. “It’s been a dream of ours to make a shot off Gordon Dam since 2010,” the group wrote on the ‘How Ridiculous’ YouTube page. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3920955/how-ridiculous-world-record-hoop-415-feet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3920955/how-ridiculous-world-record-hoop-415-feet/"},"headline":"Watch the 'How Ridiculous' Team Sink a Shot From 415 Feet","datePublished":"2015-06-15T11:32:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:21:05.823Z","description":"The guys hit the hoop from the top of Tasmania's Gordon Dam","url":"https://time.com/3920955/how-ridiculous-world-record-hoop-415-feet/","keywords":["Newsfeed"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3920955/how-ridiculous-world-record-hoop-415-feet/","name":"Watch the 'How Ridiculous' Team Sink a Shot From 415 Feet"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Georgetown vs. Princeton: The Game That Saved March Madness","description":"No. 16 seed Princeton's near-upset of No. 1 seed Georgetown in a 1989 first-round game made sure Cinderella would always get invited to the ball.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/z2mnNZ9m/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-03-19T23:01:36.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/z2mnNZ9m.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3920955/how-ridiculous-world-record-hoop-415-feet/","duration":"PT9M34S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3920955/how-ridiculous-world-record-hoop-415-feet/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
